This online presentation highlights research by the Rodriguez Lab (Texas State University) on two distantly related fungal pathogens commonly know as Chytrids that cause infections and mortality in amphibians and reptiles.
Dr. Rodriguez joined Texas State University in 2015 as a faculty member in Biology where he teaches Mycology and Applied Bioinformatics. His research group investigates host-pathogen dynamics in reptiles and amphibians using genetic, genomic, and bioinformatic tools. Specifically, he has been investigating the amphibian-killing fungus in temperate and tropical environments and Snake Fungal Disease in Texas. His research also leverages a portable genetics lab to teach and perform genetic analyses in the field.
